Spring 315 Acid catalyzed reactions grouped together, a. presented as overall reaction, b. full mechanism steps without details, c. full mechanisms with details, good practice for reactions in acid, complements tautomers in acid

Reaction summary and mechanism worksheet - I tried to present a blank reaction first (above) and then a complete arrow pushing mechanism just below that so that you could try and draw a mechanism and then check your answer. I do not have all of our reactions listed and I'm sure there are some errors (please point them out when you find them). Practice as many as you can. The more you try, the better you will get. Make sure to correct your mistakes.
